Mrs. Joseph Wilson of Griffin, Ca,
had her arm out of the window in the
act of closing the blinds, when lightning
= struck an oak near by, and paralyzed
the right side of her body. She has
since recovered. .~~
A perfect galvanic battery exists in
the person of St. Louis man, who was
recently struck by lightning: He can
impart the current to those coming in
contact with him, and he is affected
with violent spasms. =
Miss May Bailey of Owingsville, aKy.,
was turning the COWS from the pasture
preparatory to milking them, when
lightning struck wagon near her, and
the shock killed her. She showed no
marks or injuries. =. 49, 4. m. Il.

Injustice OF Circumstantial Evidence

Injustice OF Circumstantial Evidence. h
There is a case recorded by the Ma
tional Gazette of Berlin which will go
far to shake public confidence in cir
cumstantial evidence. Four years ago
in Elberfelle the wife Of Albert Fiethein
was discovered murdered. Robbery
was not the object of the crime.
Some 5000 marks were left undistur-
bed. The husband was absent, or at
least it so appeared. He and his wife
did not live together happily on ac-
count Of difference of religion. His
wife was a Catholic, and he was a
Protestant and kept$a mistress at Co
logn. On account Of his double life
and the differences between himself
and his wife the jury found that he was
the only person who could have COM
mitted the crime. A farm boy had tes-
tilted that he had seen the husband Of
he wife strike her five times on the
head. Fiethien was sentenced to
death, but the Emperor commuted his
sentence to hard labor for life. Fie.
,hein's father did not believe in his
guilt, and he has worked four years to
discover the real murderer, and has
finally succeeded. The murderer was
farm boy in a tit of drunkenness.
He confessed, and upon subsequent ar.
rest by the police he confirmed this
confession. He had first made adyan.
ces to Fiethein's wife. She had threat
ened him with her husbands rod, and
to escape this he killed her before he
was aware of what he was doing. The
innocent Fiethein will at once be re
leased.

times, or of the old fashioned picket
fence on a rampage. or the monumental
slabs OF an out-west cemetery. All
uniformity is skillfully avoided by the
expert calligraphist and the letters are
so large that he who runs may read.
Young ladies affect this style. which is
an importation of the Anglo maniacs.
It is especially popular in Washington
among diplomatic circles. In Chicago
there is special school to teach it. ID. For
the time it is the most popular way for
the scholar to make her mark, it being
peculiarly exclusive to lady correspond

Among those who write the angular
: est of angular letters in an of-hand,
business way is Miss Daisy Garland, the
charming daughter of Gen. Garland, of
Washington. S.. g.
A beautifully clear hand with letters
formed very high is that of Margaret
Eytinge. + !
Miss Rose Elizabeth Cleveland, the
Presidents sister, writes manly, Aow-

angular hand but quite as difficult to
read. No SEAL f. zs| q, 49,, 81 Il
Mrs. Gen. Custer employs aquill pen
and writes on elegant mourning paper.
Her angular letters are graceful and
characteristic. She uses black seal
with monogram.
aBelva A. Lockwood makes better
capitals than any other woman in
America. She uses green wax and
seals with a thimble.
Kate Putnam Osgood writes very
legible hand, with round. full-formed
letters and considerable stress of the pen
on the y'sand g's.
Rosa Hartwell Thorpe, author of
.'Curfew Must Not Ring Tonight, y
writes delicate womanly hand, with
out a trace of the ''angular'' or heroic
: type.
S. Fillmore Bennett, the author OF
1.-The Sweet By and Bly, writes such a
dainty hand that is never credited to a
masculine pen. He punctuates with
care.
Oreia Key Bell writes rapid bust
ness hand, each letter sharp and defined,
but no time lost in fourishes. The
signature is dainty and lady-ike, with
the turn of the o in Orelia carried
across to the B in Bell; the K in the
center overtops the other capitals in a
symmetrical way, and the whole name
is finished with an ornamental dash be-
low it. The seal is composed of the
initials in facsimile of the owner
writing.
Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe writes a
hand that is peculiar and difficult to
read. because so many of her letters
must be guessed at. All the Beechers
made the same kind of B. 1t is hump
backed and distorted.
The good gray goose quill is coming
in. Those who. like to tickle their
noses with feather find substitute
for the thought-inspiring quilt in the
long pheasant tail feather which has a
steel pen for nib. As making a pen
out of a quill belongs to the lost arts it
will hardly be a popular Renaissance.

Huge vats constructed especially for the purpose, will be seen filled with sides, hams and shoulders, and be- ing prepared for the smoke-house, while busy hands are constantly re- filling those who contents have been removed to supply the demand for the fresh home production. The quality of hogs produced in this country is also excellent, and in no instances has any disease been found among the meats. MT. c. F.

A party of Mormons who have arrived lately from Snowflake, in Apache county, Arizona, created quite a stir by claiming twenty seven or thirty head of horses which were brought down from their vi. cinity several months ago and sold to farmers in this valley. Some of the horses have been here nearly & year and others were brought in last fall. The man who brought some of them called himself Bates, and had them for quite while in Gilson's pasture saying they were not for sale. He returned to Snow- flake and subsequently, sent man down with orders to sell them. The Mormons here claim to know no such man as Bates and insist that the horses were stolen.-Phenix Herald.

The Stock Grower says the plan of MT. G. L. Brooks, to organize the meat producers of the country in a mutual protective association for defense and advantage, is, we believe, the most practical solution
 of the problem that has been pre- sented, and it is one that can easily be carried out. Mir. McGillin's plan might be practicable, but it will be impossible to bring any large number of stockmen to ac- cept it, and for that reason we do not look for success in that direc- tion. But MT. Brooks plan will command favor, and it can soon be carried out, and very little money is needed. Organization and asso- citation are the chief requisites, and there is nothing in the way of them.

 The new transcontinental tariffs show a rate on wool which the New York Tribune boasts will practically prevent the shipment of California feeces to the eastern markets. Heretofore while levying on the woods of New Mexico and Colorado "all the traffic would bear" the Pa cific roads were compelled to com pete with the water lines for the carriage of the California product, and hence gave from the coast a rate lower than on the 1000 mile shorter hauls from intermediate points. Compelled by the interstate commerce act to adjust this inequality, they have advanced the long haul rate and abandoned the California business, so We are told, in order to make the new law odious, and to retain power to tax the wool traffic of Col orado and New Mexico to the point of contiscation.

in connection with Mir. Brooks mutual association. Upon the completion of the Fort Worth &
 Denver Railroad to Pueblo, the whole northwest will have access to water transportation at Galveston. From Denver to New York is ove
 2,OOO miles. To Galveston 1t is but half that distance, and beef can be sent from there to New York at a small fraction of the cost of ship ping by railway. If the stockmen will organize and make arrange ments to ship their stock over one line, they can get the nearest and best outlet to the seaboard over the Fort Worth 6 Denver; and with a knowledge that traffic will be suffi- cient to justify the outlay, the steamship companies can be pre- vailed upon to put vessels in trade between Galveston and the eastern cities that can carry all the beef that the west can furnish, at rates that no railroad can approximate to. Let us have a discussion of this matter, and do something very soon. We are burning daylight.
